It looks like it’s going to be one of those seasons for the Dallas Cowboys. One moment, it’s a total disaster. The next, everything’s wonderful again. That’s the way it felt Sunday night throughout their dramatic, nail-biting, 20-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

When the dust settled, the Cowboys were 3-2, one game back in the NFC East race, but with a lot of frayed nerves left in their wake.

He now has four in five games, making this campaign look a lot more like 2022 (when he had an NFL-high 15 picks) than last year (when he had only nine).

But right now, he’s really it for the Dallas Cowboys. He’s got one good receiver, no reliable running game, and a defense that’s missing two of its best players. Prescott can do a lot, but he’s going to be in positions where he knows that if he doesn’t make something happen, it’s probably not going to happen. And when he starts forcing…
